An Easton man escaped injury yesterday afternoon when the Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. boom truck he was driving overturned on the westbound entrance ramp to the Lehigh Valley Thruway from Route 512.

State police at Bethlehem said Wilfredo Pedregon of 40 S. 13th St. was traveling south on Route 512 when the accident happened at 2:45 p.m.

Troopers said the rig overturned on its right side while Pedregon was making a left turn onto the entrance ramp.

The accident, police said, was due to the center of gravity on the truck, banking of the highway and the operator traveling too fast for the turn.
